I was bitching with a bunch of people on Skype about this simulation platform and I remarked how glad I am my competition basically gives no fucks about me so far and we out perform them feature for feature when one of the guys said:

It's like what the House Republicans say. You go to College to further your education, not to find a career that makes a lot of money.

He is in a simulations course at uni and they reference my work...

Again, why the fuck did I go back to school?

You should've invested that money. Either in your own company or elsewhere.

I already invested in myself! Its taken longer than I thought to pay off though (thanks to drunken suicidal business partner who I finally divested myself of!).

Going back to school was the only way to get, ahem... funding, and still focus on my project.

How's going to school going to fund that? You're going to school to follow a curriculum. Your project takes a back seat.

Nah, school is easy.

Honestly, I need to divest myself of one other little hang up and I can probably start looking for outside capital again. We were trying to do that in '11 but my business partner was kind enough to be drunk on two of our conference calls. That was really good planning on his part.
